Lily111, just go through other people's exam experiences and look at the score thread and you'll find the answer to your question.

My simple answer to your question is that a lot of step 1 concepts are repeated on the exam. i was actually welcoming the step 1 questions on there because in generally they were easier and took less thinking.
The diagnostic quetsions on the step2 really expects you to make loose connections. For example the question wont give you a typical lab value or hx but yet expect you to make the diagnosis. This was especially true for the matching questions.
